After another two years or so of lurking indoors I seem to have three occasions to wear a nice dress in the next two months. I have today depressed myself by going round and round the Bullring poking at dresses in a bewildered fashion, the few I tried on made me look like mutton (when did dresses get so SHORT?) and I need some help..
The dress code for one is "smart casual" but it is awards ceremony so expect people to make the effort. The other two I'll be presenting something so again want to look sharp but please god not mumsy/businessy.
I'm 39, Size 12, decent legs, about 5' 7", fairly hourglassy. Suit fitted shapes but don't suit flarey skirts. Upper arms need covering really.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, no idea what brands to even look at these days. Thanks
